Getting into town and out again is straightforward. There is an alternative route that is signed, which takes you through town closer to the river.

As a city, Redondela has its charms. It sits well inland of the Vigo estuary and is bisected by two massive train bridges.

The Road

When leaving town, the camino crosses the N550 at a bottleneck on the north side of town that is heavy with traffic at all hours. Cross the N550 as soon as you get to it, and almost immediately veer left gently onto a side road.

The arrows from here leave a bit to be desired. They are present, but have been spray painted with a not quite right yellow and at times, they don’t feel legit. Follow them all the same, and as you near Cesantes the stone markers return.

I arrived to Redondela at 5pm on a Sunday - very little open! I know it’s customary and it was my poor planning that left me hungry and searching. However, “Vila Bella Food & Drinks” near the Convento WAS open and had a large menu. Thank you for feeding a hungry pilgrim!

Fabulous, exceptionally clean apartment on the Camino trail. Equipped with all the latest appliances, crockery, and cutlery. Laundry services available on site. Super clean, softest white towels and comfortable bed with beautiful linen. Bathroom amenities. Quiet and easily accessible. The owners are friendly, go out of their way to help, and always available to assist. Highly recommended.

I am staying at this albergue now. It’s right on the Camino. It is bright, clean, spacious, with rustic look. It was the home of the owners grandfather. The owner is very, very helpful to pilgrims. Highly recommend.
